Nice to meet you.

I'm

I write light hearted romantic adventure along the lines of a Sandra Bullock romcom. I'm a member of IBPA, ALLI, and the Colorado Authors League and have held workshops for multiple professional writing organizations on a number of writing topics such as social engineering, wilderness hacks, and wilderness first aid.

A BIT ABOUT ME

Glad you stopped by. If you made it this far, well, we might as well get comfy and pull out the snacks. I'll start.

 

I write light hearted romance books because life is surprising, love is complicated, and sex, well, it can be dang funny.

I was born in a desert. I had a buffalo and a pig as pets. According to my extended relatives, I ran around naked all the time. Awesome. Not at all mortifying.  

 

Fast forward through some relocations, both good and hard times, and lessons learned. A lot like you, I imagine. 

 

Through those years, I discovered I wasn't the only one who seemed slightly...unusual. I decided to embrace what made me unique and ended up working with teens in the US and Europe. That's where I met Caesar's Ghost. No lie. He's not nearly as scary as he sounds. Poor fellow only has one eye and two legs. Oh, and he's a cat living at a B&B in Rome. 

I came home, married my best friend, and dove into the magnificent chaos of raising kids. My laundry is never caught up, I have a knack for blowing up appliances, and I write stories about love and chemistry and how beautifully awkward romance can be. 

Me to my hubby:
"Hey Ron, gimme a quote about love and romance."

Ron:
"Is this some kind of trick?"
